Why Realtors Recommend Ivy Removal Before Selling
When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. Realtors often recommend removing ivy from properties before listing them on the market. This recommendation stems from a few key issues that can affect the sale process, including aesthetic appeal, property health, and buyer perceptions. In short, removing ivy can enhance curb appeal, mitigate potential damage, and make your home more attractive to prospective buyers.
Our Approach

Why It Matters
Removing ivy before selling your home can significantly enhance its appeal for several reasons:

- Property Health: Ivy can damage siding, roofs, and other structures. By removing it, you prevent potential repair costs that may arise from hidden damage.
- Safety: Overgrown ivy can harbor pests, mold, and even create safety hazards by obstructing pathways. A tidy yard promotes a safe environment for prospective buyers.
